What a great idea. I have always noticed during an interview, how impressed
people are with the organization of my portfolio. Not something I was
necessarily striving for. This is just another way of showing a potential
employer or client that we are *much* more than just writers.
Can I be so bold to ask if you'd mind sharing you form b/c ? If you say
no, I'd definately understand.
